‘Surging through exits when the bell goes’ by Hilary Dodd
'Surging through exits when the bell goes' is a design-led research project that examines how the aesthetics of high school environments and digital platforms shape the hidden curriculum of contemporary education. It traces how physical architectures of control have evolved into the visual and behavioural architectures of digital systems, focusing on behaviour monitoring systems.
'Inheritance' by Mita Chowdhury
Formed through slow, meditative processes of hand-stitching, wrapping and dyeing, 'Inheritance' weaves together Chowdhury’s lived experiences as a first-generation Bangladeshi-Australian artist.
‘Steel Karkade’ by Maree Nikimaya
'Steel Karkade' showcases the multifaceted experiences of Black women in the diaspora, as well as the artist’s South Sudanese heritage. For her, the livelihoods and narratives of her ancestors and the Black women who came before her are significantly underrepresented and unwritten; her practice endeavours to bring light and permanence to their stories and cultural history.
